I just realized how badly stacked Mississippi State was all season. Cant and Coupland were obviously 2 and 3 on that team but they played Chaundry and Stropp ahead of those two instead. As a result they barely ever lost at 4 and 5 but rarely won at 2 and 3 vs the big teams. Not sure if it was that beneficial on the end.

Frank has no chance vs Spencer. He will be scared from the moment the umpire says "play". The dawg pound will be mean mean to Frankie Jr. This guy lost to that goofus from Ohio State remember. He is very over-rated. Spencer will dispose of him.

I know he's by far the premiere college player, but it's still shocking. He might be a dominant 2-time NCAA champion in a few days, yet some people here said he shouldn't come back to school. Yet, his pro results haven't been that great. Once again showing the big gap between outstanding college players and pros. Does he have a chance at a serviceable pro career?

I think he has. He is right now about 350 ATP, and has not been playing full time. He could be a top 100 ATP in the upcoming year, but as we know from could to happen is a big step.

Either Johnson or Quiroz had to retire during their doubles match in the quarterfinals. What does this mean ? Is Johnson injured ? He has to play against Klahn in the semifinals of Singles. Is Johnson less than 100% for this semis ? If so, this could be real interesting semis, indeed.

looked like he just quit to save energy for the singles..what gives???

yes Unless he figured he had no chance to win the doubles event. That wildcard into US open is probably more valuable than anything else. Lets be honest, winner of Klahn and Johnson semi will most likely win the singles event. thus get the wildcard into US open.

Johnson has been dominating the last few matches they played. It could be the same again. But let's not forget that the last two matches were when Klahn was still "recovering" from injury. I hope Johnson is not at his best, and that Klahn is... this could be a very close match.

Johnson on his injury, from ZooTennis (http://tenniskalamazoo.blogspot.se/) "After singles I was feeling just exhausted physically and I tried to come out here and play doubles, but my body just wasn't holding up," said Johnson, who had an ice bag wrapped around his stomach area. "I knew more time on the court would be bad for me, so I just decided the body wasn't feeling good, so just call it a day. The heat finally got to me today, and I've 12, 16 hours to get ready for singles tomorrow against Bradley, so I'll get up in the morning with a better attitude, I think."
